[00:05] Naotora
    Ao-no-Habakiri!
[00:09] Shiro
    You can have these back!
[00:15] Naotora
    He's a white-bladed Bushi...
    The strongest there is.
[00:21] Naotora
    There's only been a handful
    of them in the past.
[00:24] Shiro
    Is it really that rare?
[00:26] Shiro
    Meanwhile, you're the most ordinary
    of them all—a blue Bushi.
[00:32] Shiro
    Less offensive power than red blades,
[00:36] Shiro
    and no unique abilities like
    yellow and green blades.
[00:42] Shiro
    I like blue Kitetsu Blades, but you
    blue-souled Bushi are a real bore to fight.
[00:49] Takeda Bushi 1-20
    That punk's really running off
     at the mouth...
[00:53] Aoshi
    Most Bushi have blue blades!
[00:55] Aoshi
    What's wrong with that?!
[00:57] Shiro
    You're right. Sorry.
[01:00] Shiro
    It must be tough being so weak.
[01:06] Shiro
    You were unlucky enough to be
    born with the worst color.
[01:10] Naotora
    Is that what you think?
[02:58] Shunrai
    Captain!
[02:59] Naotora
    Kitetsu Blade: Ao-no-Habakiri!
[03:01] Shiro
    Cut a hole in the world! Void!
[03:21] Shunrai
    Not good! The captain's losing ground!
SIGN    Leaving Your Mark
[03:39] White-Clad Soldier
    What's going on in the sky?!
[03:41] Tsugumi
    That's over by Yura Mine, isn't it?
[03:44] Kojiro
    I heard Naotora would be fighting.
[03:48] Kojiro
    Those blue stones...
[03:50] Kojiro
    I couldn't tell before, but he's like me.
[03:54] Kojiro
    He uses a blue Kitetsu Blade.
[04:03] Shiro
    Give me all you've got.
[04:06] Shiro
    You were willing to blaspheme my goddess
    to get this fight, weren't you?
[04:11] Naotora
    A white blade ring,
    gifted to only a chosen few...
[04:15] Naotora
    That might be proof you're favored
    by the deity of arms.
[04:22] Naotora
    But just watch. I'll show you...
[04:26] Naotora
    that blue blades can become
    stronger than anything!
[04:29] Aoshi
    Captain!
[04:31] Shiro
    Interesting.
[04:38] Takeda Bushi 2-20
    Something's coming!
[04:40] Shunrai
    Is he going to cut out a slice
     of the ocean depths again?
[04:46] Shunrai
    N-No... That's...
[04:50] Shiro
    This is what I do when fighting someone
    I'd rather not even touch with my sword.
[04:56] Shiro
    Sometimes it's the bottom of the sea.
    Sometimes it's lava...
[04:59] Shiro
    hot enough to melt bone.
[05:02] Shunrai
    That maniac actually scooped
    out the heart of a volcano!
[05:12] Shiro
    I'm in a rush. This ends now.
[05:21] Shiro
    Huh? It hardened. How'd that
    happen all of a sudden?
[05:29] Shiro
    Water's flowing around it...
[05:31] Shiro
    Did it solidify from cooling?
[05:34] Shiro
    But how's this trick even work?
[05:36] Aoshi
    Hey, jerk!
[05:37] Aoshi
    You were mocking us blue
    blades before, right?
[05:40] Aoshi
    Something about it being the worst color.
     But we don't sell ourselves short!
[05:45] Aoshi
    And that's thanks to our captain!
[05:48] Aoshi
    After taking our sword trials
     and finding out our souls are blue...
[05:54] (Flashback) Naotora
    It's nothing to be upset about.
[05:56] (Flashback) Naotora
    Blue-bladed Bushi have special powers, too.
[06:00] (Flashback) Naotora
    We're particularly good
    with blade energy, right?
[06:03] (Flashback) Naotora
    That means we're especially
    attuned to the soul of stone.
[06:07] (Flashback) Naotora
    And there are others who have that
    particular talent with minerals...
[06:11] (Flashback) Naotora
    The Kishin.
[06:13] (Flashback) Aoshi
    The Kishin?!
[06:13] (Flashback) Naotora
    Right.
[06:15] (Flashback) Naotora
    You know how they can breathe fire
    and kick up tidal waves, right?
[06:19] (Flashback) Naotora
    It's the power of ore that lets
    them manipulate water and flame.
[06:23] (Flashback) Naotora
    They can freely tap into the
    power hidden within stone,
[06:27] (Flashback) Naotora
    giving them control over
    the elements themselves.
[06:29] (Flashback) Naotora
    That's their strength.
[06:31] (Flashback) Naotora
    And blue blades like us have the power
    that's closest to theirs in nature.
[06:36] (Flashback) Naotora
    In other words,
[06:38] (Flashback) Naotora
    with a blue blade and enough mastery...
[06:43] (Flashback) Naotora
    You can control the forces that shake the
     heavens and earth, like a demon god.
[06:50] Aoshi
    Our captain showed us miracles
     that gave us courage.
[06:56] Aoshi
    You talked a bunch of crap about our boss
    being one of the Five Great Generals
[07:01] Aoshi
    because he's the head of a huge band, right?
[07:03] Shiro
    Did I?
[07:05] Aoshi
    You're dead wrong.
[07:06] Aoshi
    Our captain...
[07:11] Aoshi
    is one of the Five Great Generals
    because he's the strongest there is!
[07:19] Naotora
    Devour him! Fire Tiger, Water Tiger!
[07:28] Aoshi
    Control over fire and water!
[07:30] Takeda Bushi 1-20
    Look! He's pushing him back!
[07:33] Shiro
    These powers should belong to the Kishin.
[07:37] Shiro
    All of the ore in Yura Mine
    is reacting to him...
[07:41] Shiro
    It's letting him act like a Kishin.
[07:43] Shiro
    You must've used that same power
    to escape my water prison.
[07:47] Naotora
    You guessed it.
[07:49] Aoshi
    Control over the battlefield itself...
[07:53] Aoshi
    That's what an apex blue blade can do!
[07:56] Shiro
    Oh, so this is the apex?
[08:04] Shunrai
    He sliced through the captain's technique?!
[08:08] Shiro
    Why don't we go somewhere
    with no interruptions?
[08:22] Takeda Bushi 2-20
    They vanished?
[08:23] Shunrai
    Captain!
[08:27] Shiro
    So, this apex of blue blades...
[08:29] Shiro
    Kind of a disappointment.
[08:32] Shiro
    It didn't work against me.
[08:35] Shiro
    Besides, control over fire and water
    won't let you break a Kishin's horn.
[08:40] Shiro
    Makes me wonder why you bothered
    coming up with this technique.
[08:43] Shiro
    Can a blue blade only get strong
    by ripping off a Kishin's style?
[08:48] Shiro
    That's so pathetic.
[08:50] Naotora
    You're right.
[08:51] Naotora
    I won't beat you by fighting like a Kishin.
[08:59] Shiro
    The flames and water are
    gathering in his hand?
[09:03] Shiro
    What is that?
[09:08] Naotora
    I've never used this around
    my comrades before...
[09:12] Naotora
    because I don't want to wipe them out.
[09:15] Naotora
    But here, it looks like I
    don't need to hold back.
[09:19] Naotora
    I can swing my blade as much as I want,
[09:23] Naotora
    and you'll be the only one to perish.
[09:32] Shiro
    You think that'll be enough?
[09:35] Naotora
    This power isn't for cracking Kishin horns.
[09:40] Naotora
    See, I owe the eight of you.
[09:46] Naotora
    I know what I saw.
[09:49] Naotora
    Amid a field of my brothers' corpses...
[09:51] Naotora
    there was a Bushi with a blade ring
     of a clouded color.
[09:56] Naotora
    You wanna know why I developed this power?
[10:02] Naotora
    It was for you.
[10:03] Naotora
    I've been preparing this technique
    so I could cut you down!
[10:07] Shiro
    That's interesting. Can you do it, though?
[10:14] Naotora
    I already did.
[10:27] Aoshi
    What's this explosion?!
[10:29] Shunrai
    Where's the captain?!
[10:30] Takeda Bushi 1-20
    He was in there with the enemy!
[10:32] Takeda Bushi 1-20
    Which one of them... was victorious?
[10:38] Shunrai
    Someone made it out!
[10:43] Shunrai
    Who is it?
[10:50] Naotora
    Hey. Everybody all right?
[10:52] Shunrai/Aoshi
    C-Captain!
[10:55] Aoshi
    Are you okay?
[10:56] Naotora
    Yeah.
[10:57] Takeda Bushi 1-20
    That's a relief...
[10:59] Takeda Bushi 1-20
    What happened in there?
[11:03] Naotora
    I couldn't finish him.
[11:05] Naotora
    But I managed to shatter his Kitetsu Blade.
[11:08] Shunrai
    Then that means...
[11:10] Naotora
    He's out of this battle.
[11:12] Naotora
    We've cleared our mission
    to keep him occupied.
[11:17] Aoshi
    Send up the signal!
SIGN    Awaji Island Liberation
[11:22] Narrator
    At that moment, the black-clad Uesugi forces
    were moving to slay Yamata no Orochi,
[11:28] Narrator
    while the white-clad forces were
     attempting to rescue Tatsuomi.
[11:33] Narrator
    With the defeats of Inukawa Seiroku
     and Inukai Shiro,
[11:37] Narrator
    only Inuda Yataro remained
    of the Obsidian Eight.
[11:40] Narrator
    Musashi and the special force
     were headed to the base
[11:43] Narrator
    of Yuzuruha Mountain in search of him.
[11:52] Aoshi
    Captain! Your arm...
[11:56] Naotora
    It's the price I pay...
[11:58] Naotora
    for fighting a bit recklessly.
[12:02] Naotora
    I won't be able to use
    blade energy for a while.
[12:07] Naotora
    You might even say the
    battle ended in a draw.
[12:10] Aoshi
    When you say you were reckless...
[12:12] Aoshi
    What exactly happened back there, Captain?
[12:20] Naotora
    Not telling.
[12:29] Kijinosuke
    There it is!
[12:31] Kijinosuke
    The Shimazu six-link chain!
SIGN    Left out of the fight
[12:43] Musashi
    I want to help!
[12:45] Akihiro
    You'd be in the way. Back off!
[12:47] Natsuki
    Yeah, that's right!
[12:48] Haruhisa
    You guys can follow us if you want.
[12:51] Haruhisa
    But you're too uncoordinated.
[12:53] Yabunaka
    How rude!
[12:54] Mamori
    But we really can't keep up...
[12:57] Musashi
    Ah, damn it. We're almost to Michiru's dad.
[13:03] Musashi
    I haven't gotten any
    stronger since he beat me.
[13:07] Musashi
    I thought I might stand a chance
    if I could use that power...
[13:11] Musashi
    How could I pin my hopes
    on something so unreliable?!
[13:15] Musashi
    And it's not like I can turn back.
[13:19] Musashi
    I have to get stronger myself...
[13:22] Musashi
    We link blade energy to beat the enemy!
[13:24] Musashi
    That's the only way I'm
    beating Michiru's dad.
[13:27] Musashi
    I have to be able to fight with
    Kitetsu Blades like them! And now!
[13:31] Musashi
    That's what I've gotta do!
[13:33] Morishika
    If this keeps up,
     we're going to be left behind...
[13:37] Sanae
    Let's prove to them that we can
    fight, too! Right, my prince?
[13:41] Amako
    Reality can be harsh.
[13:43] Amako
    There can be differences in
    strength among comrades.
[13:46] Amako
    And the weak will become a hindrance.
[13:51] Natsuki
    You weaklings are in the way!
[13:53] Natsuki
    Move!
[13:54] Musashi
    Hey! You don't have to—
[14:01] Amako
    I wouldn't say we're weak.
[14:09] Amako
    If you're here for a reason, then fight!
[14:12] Amako
    You're full-fledged Bushi
    who made it through the sword trial!
[14:16] Amako
    You're not weak.
    And you can do this. Can't you?!
[14:19] Mamori+Shige
    Yeah!
[14:22] Amako
    Let's go!
[14:27] Morishika
    Green blade binding!
[14:33] Amako
    Three-Strike Charge!
[14:44] Kijinosuke
    What the heck?! The Amako are strong!
[14:48] Musashi
    Katsumi! You guys are
    actually pretty awesome!
[14:51] Amako
    Of course we are.
[14:53] Amako
    Did you think otherwise?
[14:55] Musashi
    Not exactly.
[14:56] Musashi
    But how come you never took action before?
[14:59] Amako
    Those were our orders in the squad.
[15:01] Amako
    The Shimazu were to finish off the oni
    while the Amako hold them in place.
[15:05] Amako
    But Shimazu Akihiro hasn't been giving
    any proper orders since we got here.
[15:10] Amako
    We can't fight like this.
    And I won't have that.
[15:13] Amako
    Not when we're so close to
    liberating the island...
[15:15] Amako
    So the Amako will fight on our own!
[15:18] Musashi
    You've gotta let me join you!
[15:20] Amako
    Naturally.
[15:21] Tokisame
    Amako and the redhead are getting
    full of themselves. What's the call?
[15:24] Haruhisa
    Leave them. We're more than strong
    enough with just the six of us.
[15:33] Musashi
    Huh? We're clearly divided into two groups.
[15:38] Natsuki
    It's down here!
[15:45] Natsuki
    This is it. The enemy should be inside.
[15:52] Musashi
    Michiru's in here...
[16:00] Michiru
    The stones inside of me are
    excited for some reason.
[16:04] Michiru
    No matter. I need to focus on
    Father's work for now.
[16:11] Michiru
    Where are we, Father?
[16:15] Yataro
    This is the the deepest layer of the
    mineral deposits on Awaji Island.
[16:18] Yataro
    This is where my plan will bear fruit.
[16:21] Michiru
    What plan?
[16:25] Yataro
    Shiro and Seiroku have both been defeated.
[16:28] Yataro
    I must defend Lord Orochi myself.
[16:33] Michiru
    Why do you care so much
    about the Kishin, Father?
[16:41] Michiru
    Never mind.
[16:47] Michiru
    This is my father.
[16:50] Michiru
    When he glares at me like that,
    it makes me feel so sad for some reason.
[16:58] Michiru
    Like he's rejecting me.
[17:00] Michiru
    I'm but an unremarkable pebble cast aside.
[17:12] Michiru
    There's something...
[17:14] Michiru
    very important...
[17:18] Michiru
    I'm on the verge of remembering.
[17:22] Michiru
    But it hurts so much...
[17:26] Michiru
    that I don't want to remember.
[17:39] Michiru
    Father... What is this?
[17:42] Yataro
    I must prove that I am capable
    of evolving beyond all others.
[18:02] Musashi
    They made it here separately?
[18:03] Amako
    Right. Considering we don't
    even know each other's names,
[18:07] Amako
    much less trust each other,
[18:10] Amako
    we only would've been
     in each other's way together.
[18:12] Akihiro
    Hey.
[18:14] Akihiro
    A word of warning before the fight starts.
[18:17] Akihiro
    The enemy Bushi in here doesn't matter.
[18:20] Shige
    I thought the special force's
    mission was taking him out?
[18:25] Akihiro
    The Kishin that comes afterward
    is the prime target.
[18:28] Akihiro
    The Shimazu will be breaking its horns.
[18:30] Akihiro
    The rest of you better stay out of our way.
[18:32] Musashi
    What are you talking about?
[18:34] Musashi
    Are you really worried about
    who gets that job right now?
[18:37] Amako
    Musashi...
[18:38] Amako
    It seems Master Shimazu has
    his sights set on glory.
[18:41] Musashi
    Glory? What do you mean, Katsumi?
[18:45] Amako
    Anyone who breaks the horn of a Kishin
    leaves their mark on history.
[18:49] Amako
    It comes with all the rewards and
    accolades you could ask for...
[18:53] Amako
    And that's what you've been fighting for?
[18:56] Amako
    I'm a bit disappointed, Shimazu Akihiro.
[19:00] Haruhisa
    So be disappointed.
[19:02] Haruhisa
    We came here to make names for ourselves.
[19:07] Haruhisa
    Isn't that right, Akihiro?
[19:09] Akihiro
    Yeah.
[19:10] Tadayuki
    Which is why scrubs like you
    are only gonna get in the way.
[19:14] Shige
    They are literally the worst!
[19:16] Haruhisa
    That goes double for you, Red.
[19:18] Musashi
    Wha? Me?
[19:20] Haruhisa
    You only learned about blade energy linking
    recently, so you're gonna be useless.
[19:24] Haruhisa
    Back off.
[19:27] Musashi
    You've got a point.
[19:29] Musashi
    That exercise to catch blade
    energy... It was pretty hard.
[19:33] Musashi
    Probably the kind of thing
    that even friends who are in sync
[19:36] Musashi
    need to practice a lot to pull off.
[19:39] Musashi
    Like you guys.
[19:42] Musashi
    But still...
[19:43] Musashi
    I came here prepared to do whatever I can.
[19:46] Musashi
    So I hope I can help, Shimazu Haruhisa.
[19:50] Haruhisa
    H-How do you know my name?
[19:52] Musashi
    Of course I know it.
[19:54] Musashi
    And you're Shimazu Fuyuie. Tokisame.
[19:57] Musashi
    Tadayuki. Then there's Natsuki.
[20:00] Fuyuie
    I mean, he's right, but...
[20:02] Tokisame
    Did one of you guys tell him?
[20:04] Tadayuki
    Not me.
[20:05] Musashi
    I asked Miss Kuroko.
[20:07] Amako
    Why would you do that?
[20:09] Musashi
    Y'know, I'm not sure...
[20:11] Musashi
    It's just... seeing the way you guys fought,
[20:14] Musashi
    I realized I couldn't do much by myself.
[20:17] Musashi
    Seeing your awesome
    teamwork got me thinking,
[20:20] Musashi
    "That's amazing. I wanna be like that."
[20:24] Musashi
    And that made me curious.
[20:26] Amako
    Musashi...
[20:29] Sanae
    What a weirdo.
[20:31] Obsidian Goddess
    You may not be able to survive on your own,
[20:34] Obsidian Goddess
    but you have a knack for drawing
    others into your struggles.
[20:38] Obsidian Goddess
    That's a valuable temperament.
[20:41] Obsidian Goddess
    Because pooling strength with
    comrades in order to fight...
[20:45] Obsidian Goddess
    is the only way a race as fragile as
    yours will be able to battle the Kishin.
[20:50] Musashi
    Let's go!
[20:58] Shige
    It's getting hard to see in this darkness...
[21:01] Kijinosuke
    Anyone home?
[21:05] Musashi
    Hey.
[21:06] Musashi
    Just the guy I was looking for.
[21:09] Amako
    That's the enemy Bushi?
[21:11] Musashi
    Yeah.
[21:12] Amako
    He doesn't look particularly strong...
[21:15] Special Force Commander
    We have a hundred allied Bushi!
[21:18] Special Force Commander
    You're all by yourself!
     Now say your prayers!
[21:22] Yataro
    I am already one with the Kishin.
[21:26] Kijinosuke
    One with the Kishin?
    That's not even possible...
[21:30] Yataro
    But it is.
[21:32] Yataro
    My plan is finally complete...
[21:35] Yataro
    It required the sacrifice of my daughters,
[21:39] Yataro
    and this is the ultimate outcome.
[21:46] Kijinosuke
    What in the world...?
[21:53] Musashi
    That's Michiru's dad?!
[21:58] Yataro
    I have become one with a Kishin.
[22:01] Yataro
    I am the union of obsidian,
    man, and oni god!
